Saturday Reads

There is another opening at Florence ADX as Unibomber Ted Kaczynski, 81, was found dead today.   His attacks killed three people and injured many others.  He was known as somebody who was supposedly a genius but obviously mental illness overtook him.

He was known for manifestos where he railed against technology.

Snip:

In 1995, before he was identified as the Unabomber, he demanded newspapers publish a long manuscript he had written, saying the killings would continue otherwise. Both the New York Times and Washington Post published the 35,000-word manifesto later that year at the recommendation of the U.S. Attorney General and the director of the FBI.

If it hadn't been for the suspicions of his brother and sister-in-law, Kaczynski might never have been caught. Kaczynski's sister-in-law, Linda Patrik, was one of the first to identify Kaczynski as the Unabomber after reading the Unabomber's writing.
